Understanding Power

This blog has mentioned Understanding Power four times already this month. Let me encourage you once again to have a look. If you're in the US, it's liable to be on some shelf at the public library.

I can think of at least two routes to further investigation leading from this book. You could follow the footnotes. You could also, and this looks like a potentially more courageous route, work to rebut the arguments made in the book. If you take the second route -- honestly, in scholarly fashion, avoiding sloppy shortcuts or unwitting apologies for the status quo; I'm talking about the high road to rebuttal, where you come up with a more plausible explanation of the facts that stands up to careful inquiry -- let me know about it. Sounds like it would make an interesting read.
